Didn't anyone read And the Ass Saw the Angel? Or has no one listened to his music? You don't ask Nick Cave to write the screenplay for Gladiator II. "Luckily, it was so completely unacceptable they didn't even ask me to do rewrites," says Cave, with a kind of amused pride. "It wasn't makeable." Why not? "I wanted to write an anti-war film and use Gladiator as a raging war machine. He died in the first one so he comes back as the eternal warrior. It ended up in Vietnam and the Pentagon." He shrugs his spindly shoulders. "It was just this really wacked-out script." But man, look at that mustache. I'm so in love with him that I think the dorky facial hair makes him even hotter.
